A 10-year nightmare over rape conviction is over: Brian Banks spent years in prison, branded a rapist. Then his accuser provided the key to getting his conviction dismissed.
Banks had a choice: He could take the he said-she said case to trial and, if convicted, risk being sentenced to 41 years to life in prison. Or, as his lawyer advised, he could accept a plea deal.

You know what I saw today? I saw a feminist blog defending the girl in this story as “brave” because she “told the truth after all these years.” No. Fuck that.
I don’t understand why she isn’t in prison. She lied and had an innocent man put in fucking jail for five years. Why is she immune from punishment?
If not in jail, she should be sued for every penny she has.

Saying What We’re All Thinking of the Day: Sarah Burge, who is in the Guinness Book of World Records for undergoing the most plastic surgeries, appeared this week on Anderson Cooper’s show, where the “Human Barbie” told the host about how she was getting her daughter on the same process and encouraging her to pole dance.
Finally, Cooper had had enough, and he gave her the boot:
I honestly have nothing more to talk to you about… I gotta be honest, I gotta just stop. I’m sorry. I try to be really polite to all my guests, but I just think you’re dreadful and I honestly don’t want to talk to you anymore.
Cooper later admitted: “I regret having her on in the first place, and I regret that that’s how things ended.”
